What Your Brain NEEDS Now – Don’t Neglect DHA!
Are you forgetful? Would your family and friends say that you’d forget your head if it weren’t attached to your neck? Well, you’re not alone – and there are specific things you can do to help, such as leveraging the power of DHA.
The majority of your brain is made up of fat. For that reason, you need to supply your body and brain with healthy fats to keep things running like a well-oiled machine. That’s where supplements like fish oil and DHA come into play. What many people fail to realize is that healthy fats are crucial for many processes in your body to take place — such as hormone production and balance.
If you’re not a fan of eating fish, you may be missing out on some of the brain health benefits that come along with consuming healthy fats. When you look at fish and fish oil supplements, one aspect that is often discussed is the quality and quantity of DHA present in the product.
In this article, we will look at what DHA is and how it can help improve your brain health.

What is DHA?
One of the most commonly used supplements out on the market today is fish oil. Those who don’t regularly consume fish oil throughout the week may find themselves deficient in healthy fats — especially if they also don’t consume nut butters, avocados, nuts, seeds, or cook with healthy oils like extra virgin olive oil, coconut oil, or macadamia nut oil.

Omega-3 fatty acids are unable to be manufactured by the body alone and therefore need to come from our diet or supplementation. Unfortunately, not many people focus on consuming fatty fish or healthy fats with their meals which can lead to some mental and cognitive issues over time.
DHA (or docosahexaenoic acid) is one of the healthy fatty acids present in fish oil. This specific fatty acid is known for its ability to help maintain and improve brain function and performance. A fatty acid such as DHA can also help regulate hormones in the body that, without, could cause some negative and adverse effects on both mental and physical health.
Regardless of your age, DHA has shown to be beneficial for the young, the old, and the sick.
